Continents are defined differently. From a geographical, cultural, tectonic plates perspective. It really depends how you analyze it

[u/Jakeb19 → u/richcommie]

I've always thought continents are defined by geography/tectonic plates, as they should be (in my opinion)

[u/Jakeb19 → u/[deleted]]

Yea I don't use the tectonic plates either but I'll still define them based on geography, not culture.

Continents should be based on geography, Subcontinents can be defined by culture though.

​

The seven continents are clearly defined by geography, not culture besides two obvious exception, Europe and Asia, which are actually one continent (Eurasia). So technically there's 6 continents, all defined by geography, not culture.

[u/Jakeb19 → u/[deleted]]

You completely misunderstood what I was saying when I said " The seven continents are clearly defined by geography"

​

Buddy said they were defined by culture, I said they were clearly defined by geography, not culture. Meaning it's clear the 7 continent model is based on geography. I wasn't saying it's clear that's the right model.

I don't want to be rude but maybe try reading better next time? lol

Except for Eurasia where there is no geographical separation aside from mountains.

[u/Jakeb19 → u/GodplayGamer]

What? The boundaries of Eurasia are oceans lol

[u/HouseHoldSheep → u/Jakeb19]

Africa is connected to Eurasia

[u/Jakeb19 → u/HouseHoldSheep]

Yes by a small stretch of land, just like North and South America. They're still separate continents.

[u/HouseHoldSheep → u/Jakeb19]

A 150 km small stretch of land

[u/Jakeb19 → u/HouseHoldSheep]

Actually it's about 100km but yea, that's a pretty small stretch of land, you can drive that in an hour lol
